2022 Gibson ‘50s J-50 Slope Dreadnought Guitar



Overview: Well, they call it a '50s J-50 and -- ya know -- it really is quite like one. It has the sound, the neck feel is right on the money (though the nut is just a hair wider), and it has the looks -- right down to the simplified trim and appointments. This one is pretty clean and has a Baggs pickup installed with volume and tone controls at the soundhole. 


Repairs included: I just had to adjust the saddle a hair and set it up but it was within 1/64" of target action to begin-with. It's now playing spot-on and ready to go.
